Continued to wire up inside lights, outside lights, outlets and try cleaning/organizing the garage.

I just want to bring everyone up to speed on my progress. I did install 6 of the fluorescent throw away lamps and found that I could not get more than 2 cords to reach a centralized location. I decided to remove them all and save for possibly the attic space or just sell off. I did purchase 9...

I decided against the hole hawg and just used my m18 drill and impact's with the Irwin speedbore bits I already had along with a decently used auger bit I found when moving things back to the garage. Save the funds for items I will use more frequently.

So now that makes sense why I can't find any single end styles around. Saves me a little headache of continuing searching and just means a little more labor on my end.

Ok so someone please tell me if my math is wrong. If I go with the fixture and bulbs listed to get to just the recommended 15 light assemblies it will cost me 675 plus shipping. All the fluorescent lights are already paid for and cost less than $75.00 with a case of new bulbs. I don’t think it...

I’m glad someone understands why I am doing the layout and quantity that I’m thinking. If I had new fixtures and the bulb budget trust me I’d be ordering the good lights but for the current time I’m going to stick with my fluorescent lights I have.

The lighting layout I pulled off the lighting layout pages on here for a 23x 27 shop. And I beleive the fixtures and bulbs that are recommended in the sticky are what was being recommended for that layout shown.

The fixtures I currently have are not convertible as the ballast are part of the tombstones on circuit boards and I don't think I can retro different tombstones in but I may still try. I am running a wood shop with all the tools a good woodshop requires: table saw, band saw, planer, jointer...

Good Idea with the quads. I had so many shadows in my old garage that I used some lighting layouts found on here for my configuration and hope I don't have any shadow areas in my new area.

I will be working on wiring up my 24x26 garage in the new few weeks and was wondering if purchasing a hole hawg drill would be worth it. I will be mainly drilling 3/4-1" holes but have been known to do some larger hole saws away from my drill press. I would be going with the m18 fuel version...

I am in the process of running all the electrical for my new garage build, its a 24W x 26L X 22H. The ceiling height on the main level is 9'2". The attic/storage area is 7'6" at the highest point. I am trying to determine how many circuits/switches I am going to need to run all the ligts on...

Gotcha thought you meant it was advertised at the price I posted.

On HD site its listed as $199.95

The older m18 rocket light is $161.99 at the West Madison store. #2131-20 not listed on there site that low.
